For Christmas 2013, Kallboys has released a papercraft merry-go-round that actually spins! In the early twentieth century such carrousels were a tradition in outdoor Christmas markets in Germany. The PDF template for the merry-go-round may be downloaded here. For a paper model of an entire German Christmas market (complete with carrousel) see my previous post here on Kallboys' 2011 Christmas papercraft.

This paper squid is one of three delightful poseable papercraft creations by Schuyler Smith at Brave Face Paper Company. In addition to the squid, templates for a crab and a pair of dragons are also available for download. Each of the papercraft animals is rigged with strings on the inside so they may be moved like a puppet.

Paper engineer Phillip Fickling has created a humorous papercraft of Cthulhu wearing a Batman tee shirt. Cthulhu's pose and the writing on the model's base look suspiciously like a 1934 hand sketch of the ancient one by H. P. Lovecraft himself. The template for this paper toy may be downloaded here.

Due to dealing with a flooded basement, I missed mentioning that November 5th was the fifth anniversary of Tektonten Papercraft! Thanks for everyone’s continued support! This has not been my most productive year for papercraft, but I hope to get back in the swing of things in the next twelve months. One thing I want to do is to add more papercraft skulls to my video game skull series. Pictured are some of my “work in progress” skulls. From upper left going clockwise are skulls from Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Alien versus Predator, Halo 1, and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Links to previously released skulls in the series are listed below.
